Nebraska, situated right in the middle of the contiguous United States, was an important trade route for gold mining operations in Colorado and Montana. It became the 37th state on March 1, 1867. Once known as part of the Great Desert, it is actually an agriculturally rich prairie land. Its name comes from an Otoe or Omaha Native American word meaning, Flat Water, a reference to the Platt River that runs through the state. Home to Williams Jennings Bryan and U.S. President Gerald Ford, Nebraska is the first state to celebrate Arbor Day, and later in its history gave the world Kool-Aid. Visitors to Nebraska can witness a great gathering of Native American culture if they time their vacation to the Winnebago Pow-wow that occurs during the last week in July. A visit to the Golden Spike Tower and Visitor Center and Union Pacifics Bailey Railroad Yard in North Platte, is a fun and informative look at the importance of trains to the developing nation.
